Hi guys Kirk and Jason here with Kirk Giordano plastering, we are in a bedroom and what we're
going to show you guys today is the tools you need and what it takes to repair something like
this obviously they had like a little ledger board here for shelves that put the shelves here but now
they plan on doing something different here they send me a video or an email and I seen
what they had here I couldn't see that wallpaper but I've seen a few of the patches where they
pulled the wood off and it took it down to the wood laughs no problem so what a fella
like me would do first thing is I will remove the edge and that means say whether you have
that board here one of the edges right now is paper another could be caulking another could
be plaster so we got to remove those edges here I'm gonna score this paper just like so because
I don't want to take it all off you just score it and some of it still gonna come off but you
do the best you can with what we got so here's what we do is we take a trough we we score it
first getting it all along once we get it to where we want it so we're gonna hit it with
any other loose stuff we want off even though this is wallpaper I just noticed it when I got
here I thought well we'll cross that bridge - it's not a big deal we want to get as much of
it off and whether or not you use a putty knife at trial you want to get this lip off this lip is the
difference between making it smooth or having that little Ridge okay and once we got that lip off now
we don't want to we don't want to chase wallpaper and tear the whole room on or the whole closet all
and again I'm gonna apply a bonding a bit in a minute Bobby agent when a body or we're water
hit any kind of a wallpaper the water the body nathan has got water in it so obviously when the
water hits it it will make it come up and that's okay not a big deal generally what I'll do is if
water hits it and it loosens it I'll take my trial and remove that area and this this is plaster weld
and the plaster weld is it necessary a lot of folks will tell you they don't use it but it
only takes a minute and as far as I'm concerned it's cheap guarantee we I want to get all the
dust off anyhow so I'm just using this to help me get the dust off and depending on what plaster I
use which Jay already got me a 20 minute mud 20 minutes plaster is what I what I like to use now
okay that being done there I see a little bit is still coming up here a little bit here so no
big deal I take a knife and score it a little bit further because as I said a second ago the water
once we get off everything we need we go ahead and mutt it alright let me get a little bit of bonding
agent there and get rid of the dust and then we will begin with the last rain all right for the
sake of you both watching this is so small not even gonna put my gloves on now and this is just
regular twenty-minute mud guys they have 5 minute 20 40 60 now what have a lot of folks say well
how come you didn't use tape in mud David mud you could only it looks like this but you could only
put it on paper thin if you know it'll be okay for these holes but for something like let's see
the like over here try to use tape in mud it would suck in so the next day it would crack like an egg
the idea is we only want to be here for say all less than a half hour now I've got something like
this and again that's the reason I'm using plaster there's always a fellas gonna say okay we didn't
use tape and money well David my toe give me 2 to 3 trips and for something this small you're
spinning your wheels it wouldn't be it wouldn't be financially well for the folks who are hiring
me or for myself to make three trips with such a small project so what I'm gonna do and give me
about Oh 15 minutes max and we'll show you how we finish this off here because this has got a
set for at least I can feel it it's gonna set for at least 15 minutes in these spots this right here
where I've only got it on about an eighth of an inch is gonna set fast so in 15 minutes I'll show
you how we trowel it down now okay guys now if the camera will show this this is still a little
bit damp but that's perfect if it was heart of the rock then it defeats the whole purpose and
we got a whole bunch of waves in here but again if I push it hard with my fingers see that I can
see what's what's happening with it it's good good enough time as any alright now what we're going to
do is we want to wait a trial I just put it in the bucket here wet it keep a handy dandy little brush
and now that this is set where we can play with it we'll just push it where we want we push it where
we want I'm back on it a couple times this does require a lot of elbow grease guys just pushing
it real soft that's not your work you gotta put some muscle in it push it hard but that's the
beauty of plaster as opposed to taking bud again a lot of elbow grease and if it gets real hard take
your water bucket with the brush put a little bit of water on it and I'll tell you guys this Beach
I'm here maybe 45 minutes you guys how do you use tape in mud it will take in three tries and each
time will be an hour while you let it set up and lastly you take your corner up work what I tend to
do guys and I leave a little fat on this and see that a little fat in case I come on to something
where I need it I put in a lot of pressure a lot of pressure the last thing I'll do is trim
my corners out a little little throwaway brush I mean this is like it's like a bucket but it
works real well rather than a $60 brush this one goes in there gets the corners real Knight gets
the corners here real nice and there you have it nothing to it anyway guys my name is kirk, jayson,
on the camera as usual I hope you guys learned something between taping muds and plasters big
difference anyhow guys we thank you for watching and as usual we'll see you on the next one
